    Default 2020 RTL - Can I run cell phone 'maps' app as gps thru the speakers?

    How do I run my android cell phone "maps" app through my speakers? My phone is Bluetooth connected to the bike.

    Jerry, do you currently run your map’s sound through your helmet speakers? If yes, it should be as simple as pressing the “helmet or speakers” button at the bottom of the audio controls on your “tank” control panel. Actually, if your phone is BT to your RT, pressing that button should work regardless of whether your helmet is connected or not.

    As Pete said, if you bluetooth to the bike, you should be able to hear your map voice prompts through the bike speakers from your phone app. Similar to listening to music via bluetooth to the bike speakers. You can probably listen to music and the map prompts through the bike simultaneously
